Surrounded by lush greenery, the waterfall is a single stream that cascades down from the cliff. During the rainy season, the waterfall splits into two.
The cascading water pours into a round pool which is quite deep. Although the waterfall appears small compared to other Bali waterfalls, due to the height of the drop, the waterfall is pretty powerful.  So, If you wish to swim, be sure not to get too close to the waterfall and follow the instructions given by the lifeguard who is always present near the waterfall to avoid any mishaps. 
 

Swimming in the Pool

We couldn’t stop ourselves from taking a dip into the the pool. The water was chilly and the evening breeze further cooled the air. It was fun swimming and taking in the exocit views and since one one else was present except us, it felt like we owned the place.

Bali Travel Guide – 10 Days Bali Travel Itinerary | Bali Maps

July 30, 2018 by sarita

Bali in Indonesia, attracts a large number of tourist from around the World. Despite being a considerably small island, the great thing about Bali is that it truly has something for everyone. From stunning waterfalls, pristine lakes, rolling rice terraces, impressive volcanoes, beaches and wildlife to water parks, food, shopping and nightlife – you can find everything here!

Bali ItineraryBali Itinerary

 

Days Required to Explore Bali ?

Bali is packed with countless natural attractions that you might not be able to explore all within the span of a single visit. You will actually need to spend a whole month or at-least 2 weeks in Bali, to explore the countless gems spread across the island. 
 
 

Where should you Stay in Bali ?

We recommend choosing two destinations and splitting your days between them.
In this itinerary, we have picked Ubud (Central Bali) for first 7 days and South Bali Beaches for the last 2 days. You can make changes to this itinerary as per your convenience.
 
 

How Far are the Attraction from Each Other ?

Here is the Good Part. In Bali, most of the popular tourist attractions are very close to each other. The maximum distance between 2 locations will be around 45 kms which can be covered within 2 hrs, depending on traffic conditions. 

The roads are pretty awesome in Bali except for the ones that run through secluded regions. Overall, driving will be a lot of fun.


How to Plan Itinerary?

Covering the attractions region-wise would be the best way. It can take anywhere around 3-7 days to cover each region depending on how relaxed you want your trip to be.
 

How to Tour around Bali ?

There are 2 ways you can tour around bali – By booking a cab or by self driving a bike. 
 
Book a Cab – Most resorts in Bali will arrange for a cab with a pre-planned itinerary split into half-day trips and Full-day trips. From our very own personal experience, we suggest you to not follow their itinerary and ditch their cabs as well, if possible. 
 
Sad part of our trip was we wasted almost 2 precious days figuring out how to reach the places we wanted to. The hotel suggested us to go ahead with a cab, which we did, only to discover that the cab driver kept fooling us by taking us to random places, in spite of asking him not to. He was only interested in minting more money within less time not caring about the tourist requirements.
So please be cautious. Since, Bali is a very popular tourist destination, you might get fooled in a similar manner. 
 
Self Drive a Scooter
 
We soon realized that renting a bike would be the Best Option. Many tourist agencies throughout Bali rent out scooters at a very small charge per day. We finally got our hands on one and only then we got to experience the real fun of being in Bali.
 
 

Bali – 10 Days Travel Itinerary

Bali has too many scenic attractions to be covered within 10 days. We have still tried to cover as much as we could, keeping in mind that we enjoyed our vacation along the way and created this itinerary that will help you make the most out of the trip.

Bali beaches are usually very crowded and comprise mostly brown and black volcanic sand. Grey sand beaches periodically dot the coast. 
If you are looking for a beach holiday, then we suggest to pick a country famous for clean sandy beaches, because in Bali, there are too many other fun and interesting things to do that you will never forget.
